Hi All,
I have recently installed Open suse 11.3 with Kde on a cleaned ex lease hp 6710b.
I have managed to overcome every hurdle so far, more through good luck than good management. However when I switched on the computer tonight the updater App gave the following error message.
When I went into Yast to look at the repositories for more programs I got a similar message which also said [Abstract command.cc:748]Failed to establish connection, cause :Connection refused. And I noticed it only listed programs already installed on the Laptop.
I thought it might just be server overload until I saw “connection refused”.
Can someone enlighten me please?
Thanks Will.
p.s. Generally very pleased with everything else linux and not quite as scary as I thought it would be.
Have uninstalled VLC but updater still wants to connect to videolan repo… Any clues to to stop that?
I’m pretty sure I didn’t download anything else from there but how can I check?
Welcome to these forums and nice you found out about en/disabling repos.
But please, next time when you ask somethinmg, make the title of your thread mirroring the question.
That means that when you want to ask about a “PackageKit Error repo-not-available” then say so in the title and not something like “New to open Suse and all thing Linux” because some people looking through the titles searching for a subject where they can help will will just skip your threead because it seems not to be a question at all.
